Body Politics

Actually it isn’t specifically about porn.  It’s about how women feel when their men use imagery of other women (or any kind, really) to gratify themselves sexually.  I’m talking about women who feel they have been sexually rejected, ignored or otherwise not connected sexually with their partners who use imagery of other women (or whatever) [...]

I am working on a new project and I need models who are willing to have their yoni photographed.
I am curious about how women feel about the way their vagina looks.  How it functions.  If they are happy with their vagina or if their opinion has changed over the years about it.  Do you wax?  [...]

Weighting for You, Heather’s newest contribution to the Body Politics project, launches on Artomatic’s opening day.  That’s today kiddos!

I learned from Cali (see previous post) that there is a “Skinny Jeans Revolution” going on.  When did that happen?  I was really happy to hear about it!  Tammy and I first talked about the concept early last year while eating food at a local Mexican restaurant.  The exhibit debuted at the 2008 Artomatic.  We [...]

You could send us a pair of your skinny jeans (address below).  Or, even better, you could come by our Artomatic exhibit and hang a pair on the clothesline.

You could volunteer to model for Heather’s photography. No, you don’t have to model nude.  The object is to communicate something about your body that is important [...]

Here is an excerpt from a great blog entry on the Artful Adventures blog about saying farewell to and getting rid of those skinny jeans.
“And once upon a time, I was hell bent on losing all the extra weight that I’d been hauling around for my entire life.  This time was going to be different, [...]

This is the female torso that Tammy has made, covered in chalboard paint, so you can participate with Body Politics.
Come to Artomatic before June 15th and participate by leaving words or drawings on the torso.
Click on the images to see a larger image.

We photograph and then erase the torsos every so often so new people can put up their “art” on Tammy’s torsos.
Stop by Artomatic and you can write on the torsos too!

Just to keep you up to speed – here is an update of Tammy’s pregnant torso. 
We took photos of them this past Sunday, but they were in RAW format and had to convert them, so here they are.
I am working also on images of the male and female torsos with chalboard paint Tammy did.
The question [...]
